Hi, my name is Sand Dawg. Funny name for a pig isn’t it. But I got that name because of how I found a new home. You see, the man who had me didn’t want me. So he took me down this long dirt road and just dumped me out. But my nose is good and smelled other pigs just like me. But I couldn’t get in. There was a fence and gate that I couldn’t get through. So I rooted out a cool spot in the sand and just laid down. I was hungry and thirty but had no place to go. Then I seen this car coming down the road. A lady driving it got out and looked at me and just shook her head.

 

She said, "what am I to do with you? I have way to many and have to move them." I wagged my tail at her and soon she just opened up the gate and let me in and said "welcome home little Sand Dawgie". Awe, home at last.

 

My new mommy fed and watered me and I went off to meet the rest of my new family. All dem piggies wanted to know where I came from and what was I doing there. They told me things were bad there but Mamma’s love kept them going. That my new Mamma was stressing out because of a bad man that lost their home and ours. We have to all move. But mom can’t work right now because of dealing with all this and time is running out. But they tell me mom has promised each of them and me that she will not give up. She will find a way to get and keep us safe. She told me that once we are all safe, then she will have time once more to give tummy rubs and play with us. But right now she has only a few days.
